Giftship: Gift Options & More

Giftship is a fantastic app and our online store could not work without it!
There are so many features that can be easily adjusted and amended to suit your specific needs. Whenever I have had difficulties the developers have helped me instantly.
I would highly recommend this app and it's developers.

Giftship is the best app we've ever worked with. Many features and customizations to fit your specific needs. Incredibly quick and responsive support with detailed explanations and assistance in getting the app to work the way you need it to. They have even gone so far as to build in additional features that we need. There is so much you can do with this app and we would not hesitate one moment to recommend Giftship and it's developer GIST overall.

I honestly don’t know how this app has so many 5-star reviews. I’ve been selling online for over 20 years, and I’ve worked with countless apps and developers to add custom functions to my stores. Out of all of them, this has been by far the most frustrating app and company I’ve ever dealt with.

The installation process was unnecessarily complicated and poorly explained. When I reached out for support customizing the step-by-step builder for our store, I constantly felt like I was being treated as a nuisance for asking questions — even though my questions were reasonable and directly related to making their product work.

It feels like the app was built by a group of tech people who released it into the App Store without any real plan for customer support. Their communication style was unhelpful at best and dismissive at worst. I found myself dreading having to email them, and I avoided it whenever possible.

On top of that, the default look of the builder was clunky and unattractive for a live storefront. I ended up hiring a third-party developer to redesign it entirely, which defeated the purpose of paying for this app in the first place.

In short: confusing setup, frustrating support, poor design, and a total lack of customer care. There are far better options out there.

We have been working with giftship to manage the personalisation of our products and allow our customers to select specific dates to have their order delivered. We have ran into some issues with the integration of our other apps however Jayson and the team have worked hard to fix these issues and get our website running the way we want it too. Brilliant support for a great app!

We spent a long time looking for a gift message app that would meet our needs. Many gift message apps don't allow you to add 2 gifts to the basket with 2 separate gift messages, which was essential for us. Giftship does allow this and offers many other add-ons such as gift cards and upsells. Support were very responsive and helpful. I would recommend this app to anyone wanting a gift message app with advanced functionality.

We’ve been using the GiftShip app for some time now and have been impressed by the range of new tools that are consistently added and expanded upon. The team has been incredibly patient and supportive, offering assistance to us less technically inclined people, helping resolve style changes, app conflicts, and ensuring everything runs smoothly with the unique way our site is set up. This has allowed us to get the most out of the service.

The recent addition of the drawer cart, along with compatibility for delayed dispatch dates, gift messages, and split shipping to multiple addresses, has been particularly beneficial for our gifting business. Many other apps fail to adequately support the specific gifting needs of our customers, but GiftShip excels in this area. While most e-commerce tools focus on the straightforward click-and-buy process, GiftShip addresses the more complex requirements of gifting customers throughout their purchasing journey.

Additionally, the app takes into account the fulfilment process from the admin side. When orders are passed through to our shipping portal, all items are listed in the correct order according to the customer’s gift box. This is particularly helpful when customers order multiple gift boxes, as it ensures our fulfilment team can quickly identify which items belong in each box, saving valuable time and preventing errors. Overall, GiftShip has made a significant impact on our efficiency and customer satisfaction.

I have two stores and use Giftship . One store uses different features than the other. However, in both cases, Gifthsip is great. I'm Shop Plus and it's very helpful to use Giftship and I'm not being paid to say this, I sell amazing products not my time for reviews. My experience is always very good with them and their customer support is super helpful.

GiftShip has been an excellent addition to our website! Their customer service is truly top-notch – they've been incredibly quick to respond to all my emails and always go above and beyond to assist with any questions. The product itself integrates seamlessly and has made managing our gift offerings so much easier. We're also excited to explore their Gift Card Pro app soon. Highly recommend GiftShip to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient gifting solution!

With so many features—like shipping to multiple addresses, bundling products, a custom box builder, along with customizable cart and checkout features to name a few, Giftship simplifies so many mechanisms we need to operate our website.

We particularly appreciate the attention to detail and usability, which has improved our customer user flow, and the fast and responsive technical support from the development team at Gist makes navigating the app smooth and easy.

Be warned: can't use ShopPay if you use this app. If you use this app and enable ShopPay, emails/notifications to customers do not work correctly -- customers get ShopPay notification that their orders have been cancelled (even though neither they nor we have cancelled their order).

It's not true that this app is "fully compatible with ShopPay." We've contacted GiftShip support about this cancellation notification issue, and their response was "This is not something we are able to control, as the Shop App acts independently."

We had to turn off ShopPay as a payment method on our store...which greatly impacts our business as we received over 50% of our orders via ShopPay...and GiftShip knows about this issue but has no plan or ETA to fix it.
